Ali has performed on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, the FOX series “Breaking In”, E!’s “50 Super Epic TV Moments”, and can be seen in Oliver Stone’s “Savages”.

In the cafe at Whole Foods I talk with Houston comic Matthew Broussard. With only a year under his comedy belt, Matthew won the Funniest Person in Houston contest and the Houston Improv's Stand-Up Stand-off competition. While Matthew eats a smelly noodle bowl that he brought from home we talk about his comedy goals, his Jewness, Monday Punday, and I offer him plenty of advice.

Dallas based comedians Paul Varghese and Chelsea Hood join me in the Houston Improv green room. Paul has been seen on Comedy Central's Live at Gotham, Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand-Up Revolution, Russell Peters Presents, and Last Comic Standing. Chelsea is a regular on the new syndicated morning show Eye Opener Live. We discuss both of their starts in standup comedy, Paul opening for Dave Chappelle at the infamous Austin show, and Chelsea eats nachos like a champ.
